Remember Our Fallen, One Wreath at a Time

Posted: November 19, 2018

Once again, it is time for the local Wreaths Across America (WAA) effort this year.

Wreaths Across America began in 2006 as an offshoot of the Arlington National Cemetery wreath project to remember the fallen, honor those who serve, and teach our children the value of freedom.

Wreaths Across America groups will help adorn veteran memorials and grave sites in all 50 states with red-ribboned remembrance wreaths this holiday season.

To learn more about the organization and its mission, visit the WAA website.

Your wreath sponsorship of $15.00 will honor a fallen hero by placing a wreath on his or her grave. To donate via the WAA website, visit the Glenwood Cemetery page and click on sponsor wreaths.

The wreath laying ceremony will be held on Saturday, December 15, 2018 at 12:00 noon at Glenwood Cemetery (926 Route 517 in Vernon). You need not sponsor a wreath to attend—all are welcome to participate in this meaningful ceremony.
